The plaintiffs’ expert, Brett Seiffert, an environmental specialist with the health department, testified that soil compaction, by driving a tractor over a drain field, can cause system failure. However, the plaintiff testified that he did not drive a tractor over the fines to cause the leak, since he did not own a tractor at the time the leakage began. On the other hand, he did admit that he had a “little” riding mower that he had used in that. area. Defendants’ expert, Mr. Wilcockson, stated that even a riding lawn mower could cause soil compaction resulting in leakage.
